There are at present 1900 soldiers in

necessary to erect temporary wooden hosIt-

No doubt the excessively hot, rainess. and
dusty summer and the dazzling sun glare on
the barren steppos outside where the garrison
were encamped for four month"; have this
season abnornally swelled tho ordinary num-
Der OF patients from this disease, which every
autumn crowds tho military hospitals. In the
northern provinces the hospitals are usually
filled In the carly spring with this class Of
patients who suffer from the snow glare OF
the protracted northern winters,
One would naturally suppose that, owing to
the general prevalence Of this affection In tho
Russian army, .ophthnImia would not only, be
especially studied by the medical faculty. but
that, Russian mil italy Specialist would excel
in theoretical and practical knowledge OF this
distressing complaint. But such Ia not the
cnse. The greater part Of these ophthalmic
patients are never treated by "a qualified prac-
tiiioner but are left entirely In the hands Of lg
norRnt regimental dispensers.

thalmla and neglected treatment, but haye

The LADY Who Insisted Upon Reading
ZOla's Novel.


One of the bright and cnterprising news
agents employed by Barkalow Bros, re-
lated an incident of travel last evening
worthy of repetition. First be it known
that the firm catering to the intellectual
and stonach's wants OF the travelling
public through the agency Of news agents,
does not permit their employees to engage
in the sale of literary works tabooed by
that recognized custodian of public NOR
ais, Mr.. Anthony Comstock. New York
agent for the suppression of vice. The
boys find it profitable to handle these
books, however, and the certainty of dis
charge in event of detection does not pre-
vent the sale Of those shady productions
from the %caustic, entertaining and pungent
pens of Zola and Daudet.
The other day an exceedingly well
dressed lady, handsome, youthful and Of a
carriage and general demeanor indicative
of refined tastes, careful training, liberal
education and womanly sentiments, sbyly
inquired for ''Zola's latest"
The news agent was too gallant and
poor to refuse, and generously sold her a
copy of the work for three times the reg
ular price. The purchaser tore the covers
from the book and in an instant was ap
parently deeply interested. She threw
aside a copy of the Minister'S Charge,
and would not deign to converse with a
missionary who was distributing tracts.

One of the Richie boys, several times
referred to in these columns as a chronic
drunk, formerly of good standing in this
community, is now involved in trouble
which may end more seriously than his
ordinary sprees. Yesterday he borrowed
a horse from a stock mar aud in order to
settle a feed bill for the animal accruing
while he was drinking traded the steed for
another and rode his new acquisition
away. 1t is more than probable that the
affair will be settled without imprisoning
the inebriate, as it is conceded the trans,
action was a drunken ~escapade, and that
the unfortunate man is s%crupulously hon

THE L~ABoRERs.
How the Unattached Army Here spend
Their Mo ey.

About $50 unattached graders and
tracklayers arc at present in the city. A
majority of them are, or were when dis
charged, possessors of several months
wages. They are queer fish, these sturdy
toilers. Thinking not of the morrow,
they waste their substance with a prodi
gallty which usually indicates the man
who earns money much easier than work
ing ten hours a day for it.
Men who could not distinguish the
difference between Pomery Sec and native
port wine will recklessiy order a bottle of
the former for himself and a select party.
The sparkling liquid does not have the
dlreful effect Of fire water, and he for
sakes 1t and returns to his first love, a
liquid which, in his own words, strikes
the right spot"
The strangers may be found every
where. Their first move is to purchase a
suit of clothes at a price suiting their own
ideas of adornment. Some buy watches,
iewelry and fnery. a few send money
away Perhaps many a home will be
frightened by the receipt of a draft from
far off Cheyenne. Nearly all drink and
many gamble. In the club rooms the
night hawk may observe the man whose
f%avorite game is ''old sledge," and who
handles a deck of cards with the grace
accorded a bruin, laying poker with a
pale faced gambler whose manipulation of
the pack evidences that he is on adept at all
games of chance. Some of them try the
banking games, with varying success,
usually ending by cursing faro and CON
demning roulette.
AS a rule they are quiet, orderly and
clannish, quarreling amoug themselves, if
at all.
What will become of them? one nat
urally asks. What always becomes of the
surplus? would be- the Yankees answer.
Many will find employment in this vicin-
ity, and the remainder will depart ard
assist in the building OF other railroads
aud the enriching OF other communities.

Cornell were the guests of Hons. HON.

THE COMING TREAT.
A Great operate Company Billed for
Wednesday.

The appearance of the Campanini
Concert company will be a fitting dessert
to the extended course of comedy, bur
lesque and drama upon which Cheyenne
theatre goers have been g~ourmandizing
for the past year or ever since the very
successful appearance of Emma Nevada,
the Sagebrush Linuet, who convinced
the musical world that something good
could come out .ofeven barren Nevada.
Among patrons of the opera, and
more particularly admirers of the Italian
school, not to know or become acquainted
with the famous membcrs of this great
organization is to argue ones self un-
known.
Repetto is the rival Of Patti, Scalchi is
the greatest prima donna contralto, Sig
norma Torricelli is young and handsome
violin v%irtuoSo, a most brilliant player, pos
sessing remarkable powers of interpreta-
ton. Baldini is a gem-a tenor not
bowed down with years. Baritone Ga-
lassi is as widely known as Scalchi and has
sung in every American city of any note,
including, of course, Cheyenne. Nannetti
artistically handled his rich, firm and deep
bass voice when appearing in this country
with Christine Nilsson. He was then but
a lad, aud has improved wonderfully in
late years. Corsini is Just such an artistic
and comical basso-butfo as completes the
vocal ensemble of such a great troupe.
Signor Gore, the accompanist, is a capital
musician and conductor of more than or
binary ability. CampaninI himself is
such a tenor as is heard but few times in
a life.
